Paper for sketchbooks

I have used many different brands and types of paper, but the paper I have used the most and now use exclusively for sketching. I find the 190g/m² (90lb) NOT surface is ideal for dry and wet work. The large and medium concertina sketchbooks use the same paper, but 300gsm, so they are heavier to allow for fold-out use. I also use Fabriano Academia and Hereford paper, see below
